Larry Gesch, he's a full time mechanic / shop owner for modern cars, but owns some flatties. He did this as a side project for me. Took a bit longer than I thought it would, but now that I have it back and have driven it for a few weeks, I think he did one awesome job!
I put a vacuum gauge in the intake manifold and took the vacuum reading. A perfect 18 lbs with no ticking needle!
I need to put in a mechanical Oil pressure guage yet, and redo all the gaskets on my leaking worm gear steering housing.
Trans leaks a little ( I think it's the seals where the shifter rods come out)
Other than that, there's not much to do!
